JOE BIDEN? -- YOU MUST BE KIDDINGMarch 11, 2020 /
Francis Menton
*
Back in October, after looking some into the Hunter Biden/Burisma situation, and watching a few clips of Joe Biden on the campaign trail, I offered the following insightful prognostication:*
_I’m sorry to say that I don’t think Joe Biden is going to last much longer in this presidential contest._*
That shows you what I know about these things.*
The particular context there was a couple of posts I had just researched and written on the Ukraine affair, titled “The Bidens: Stone Cold Crooked” and “The Bidens: Stone Cold Crooked (2).” My conclusion in the two posts was that there was a lay-down case of corruption against Joe Biden in the Burisma situation, and I couldn’t even see what his defense would be. Yes, Joe could try saying “Sure I got my son $3 million in Ukraine by leveraging foreign aid money put up by U.S. taxpayers, but my motives were pure because I was also getting a corrupt prosecutor fired.” But why would or should anyone buy that line, when Joe could have told his son to get off the board before getting the prosecutor fired? . . .Read More

THE REAL NEW YORK TIMES, OR A PARODY?March 08, 2020 /
Francis Menton
*
You could find yourself asking that question about the pile of newsprint that resembles the New York Times more or less any day; but the rag with the New York Times banner on top that got delivered to me yesterday really leaves me scratching my head.*
Is this real, or did someone swipe the actual paper out of my mail slot early in the morning and substitute the parody edition? Judging from the physical item before me, I would go with parody.*
But then I discover that all of the dubious articles can be found on the nytimes.com website. Could the devious parodists have hacked thewebsite as well?

Let’s consider first the section of the paper headed “New York.”Read More

ERIC GREITENS UPDATE March 05, 2020 / Francis Menton*
If you haven’t heard of Eric Greitens, it’s either because you don’t live in Missouri or you haven’t been paying attention to the Manhattan Contrarian posts on politicized phony prosecutions. Prior MC posts dealing with Mr. Greitens’s situation appeared first on April12, 2018
,
and then a couple of weeks ago on February 18, 2020.
Today there is a piece by Christine Dolan and John Solomon at Just theNews
,
with new facts that are truly unbelievable.*
The subject of the April 2018 post was a collection of weak and/or completely phony prosecutions brought by Democratic prosecutors against Republican officeholders in politically swing situations, where the investigation or potential conviction had a likelihood to drive the Republican from office and thereby potentially move significant power to the Democrats.*
I was clear to say in that post, and I repeat here, that I do not contend that Republicans are pure on this issue; however, despite considerable looking, I have not been able to come up with a single example of a comparable situation with potential to swing political power from one party to the other where it was a Republican prosecutor pursuing a Democratic officeholder.*
But let’s get to Greitens. . . .Read More

THE QUEST FOR PERFECT FAIRNESS AND JUSTICE IN PROPERTY TAXATION, NEWYORK CITY EDITION
March 04, 2020
/
Francis Menton
*
Before leaving my current round of posts on New York City real estate issues, it occurs to me to make some fun of one of the funniest policy issues in that arena, namely the question of “fairness” of the property tax system.*
New York has a crazy patchwork of laws and rules for who pays how much property tax. Those laws and rules have arisen from a long history of the usual attempts to create perfect fairness and justice in thesystem.
*
For today’s purposes, here’s what’s important: When trying to create a perfectly “fair” property tax system, there are two main goals which are, unfortunately, completely inconsistent. Goal one is that in a “fair” system, properties of equal value “should” be taxed at equal amounts. Really, who could disagree with that? But goal number two is that in a “fair” system, people of modest incomes “should” not be driven from their homes by rapidly acceleratingproperty tax bills.
*
If you think about these two”fairness” goals for a moment, you will quickly realize that they cannot both be achieved at the same time. The more you strive to achieve one of them, the farther you get from the other. . . . .Read More

HOW DO YOU MEASURE THE "SUCCESS" OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING?March 02, 2020
/
Francis Menton
*
Here in Manhattan, it is an article of unshakable religious faith that conjuring “affordable housing” into existence, through some magic recipe of taxpayer subsidies and coercion, is a fundamental responsibility of government.*
And then you have the tiny handful of dissenters, like myself.*
It was way back in January 2013that I
